Session Sponsored by:

About the Session:

Richard Wheaton, Managing Director of Neo@Ogilvy London, will speak about the new opportunities for digital display media to reassert its important role in the media mix, after years of retreat in the face of search, affiliate and classified growth. He will confront us with some of the good and bad behaviours that are already surfacing in the new Demand-side Platform (DSP) eco-system, and challenge us to focus on the performance aspects of the new tools. Richard will present some of his agency's analysis of DSP performance that points to new ways to gain efficiencies and new planning insights. And in preparation for the broad range of topics covered in the day ahead of us, he will demonstrate how DSPs can exploit the interconnectedness of digital communications.
